When trying to flash the rom to OEM AKU 3.3 from verizon I get error 100 wrong device. This is after installing WM6.0

Here is some more info also. When I updated to 6.0 I had to downgrade the bootloader from 2.05 to 2.02 I followed the instructions from another thread in the forum. I had to run a update called APACUpgradeUt_noID could this be part of the problem? What exactly does that update on the phone?

Nevermind figured it out on my own. Man I was worried for a bit though. I have to return the phone to verizon for a replacement and didnt know what I was going to tell them.

Forget just keep the phone as a backup. They have millions of these phones and don't need your old one.

Plz, can you post your solution? There seem to be alot of ppl lately that can't flash back to the original ROM after an upgrade to 6/6.1. Thanks.

Ok what finally worked for me is I ran the bootloader fix instructions is this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33076 and made sure it was at 2.02. Then I downloaded the stock rom from http://handsets.utstar.com/uts_downloads.aspx and using winrar I extracted the .exe onto my desktop. Once that is extracted go to the output folder and copy the 3 files ms_.bf nk.bf and radio_.bf into the No_ID folder that you get from the fix bootloader thread. Then run APACUpgradeUT_NoID. Then it worked for me. The problem was the first time I did this it was just stuck in the bootloader. It took me two tries to get it working. Also I found and ran a UNI_exibootloader program and ran it. I think that helped but not sure.

Thanks. I'm sure that will help alot of ppl. Oh, and that APACUpgradeUT_NoID is an RUU, e.g. the ROM Upgrade Utility that loads the ROM onto the phone. I guess you use it when you change bootloaders. The UNI_exibootloader got you unstuck from bootloader, which you were stuck at due to a problematic flash. Pretty common. That's how we all learn here!
